Peripheral vascular disease is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis that leads to significant narrowing of arteries distal to the arch of the aorta. The most common symptom of peripheral vascular disease is intermittent claudication. At other times, peripheral vascular disease leads to acute or critical limb ischemia. Intermittent claudication manifests as pain in the muscles of the legs with exercise; it is experienced by 2 percent of persons older than 65 years.
Symptoms of GERD-related Cough. There are certain clues to suggest that a persistent cough may be actually due to GERD. A GERD-related cough usually occurs during the night or after a meal (when acid reflux often is at its worst). Coughing can also occur when you are lying down. If you do not find any X-ray reports to suggest that the reason might be something else or the cough happens without post-nasal drip or asthma, it could be related to GERD.

The amount of caffeine you consume, your current medical condition and your predisposition to allergies are a few things that may influence how caffeine affects you. For some people, consuming caffeine may trigger coughing or make coughing worse.
